Anyone got any inside info as to any big names that might be coming?
I am signed up for it, but am day to day with a broken foot.

Big names are the usual Graffunder, Haaker, Redmond, Webb and I heard Taddy was going to come back, but can't confirm any of that.

Now thats hard to find...most racers in higher classes have some sort of sponsorship even if its just for a discount on gear etc...

Yes but they have all been to X Games etc. I was going more for a local who is just up to see how they might go against the pros.
Fair enough! I'm going but thats just to give the crowd a laugh :smirk:

The pro class is pretty well defined for entries this year. I am not sure you will see too many "farm kids" show up and pull off a title run.

Tyler Wendlant would be a great guy to talk to as well. He is an amateur rider that has poured his heart into endurocross for the last few years.

Spencer Wilton is another great example of a yong fellow trying to follow a dream. He has been spending time in the US training and racing to make a run at the entire AMA endurocross series in the US.

Once I see the entry list I may be able to point you in a better direction.
